Allegory of Winter is a 1720 oil by Sebastiano Conca, a Rococo painting work, depicting Putto, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a chubby baby, or putto, sitting on a rock. The putto is holding its right foot and looking down at it. The baby's skin is a pale, creamy color, and its hair is curly and light brown. The background is dark, with some lighter areas that might be clouds or smoke. The putto is the main focus of the painting, and it's shown in a lot of detail. The artist has used a lot of texture to make the baby's skin and hair look soft and realistic. The background is less detailed, but it helps to make the putto stand out. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of the artist, Sebastiano Conca.
